well, i was there, but you already knew that, nicole. i thought the organizers did a great job with advertising this year. everywhere i looked, i was seeing flyers &amp; postcards for the fair. i was really impressed. i was sad about the venue change at first (it was at mass art the last several years), but it's true that mass art is a pain in the ass for grabbing a soda or coffee or anything. the art institute was closer to conveniences like that, which worked out well for me because i really…

<br />
i was pretty much super-impressed with the whole thing. i only wish i could have gotten a little more time away from my table to see what else there was to see, but being booked for workshops during the busiest periods of both days, i didn't want to leave jared alone with the table too much more than that. this is where i sometimes think having someone else helping full-time with the distro would be useful, but i know i'd probably actually hate that when things are slow &amp; there's not much to do. I see your point. We did actu…tag:wemakezines.ning.com,2008-10-08:2288844:Comment:148902008-10-08T15:12:37.715ZLucky Siahttp://wemakezines.ning.com/profile/LuckySia
I see your point. We did actually go in and then duck out for a slice and a little soda pop. So, I guess it would depend on where the one big room was located, huh?<br />

I went to the Boston Zine Fair and I liked it a lot! Spent too much money on zines, but I am still enjoying them. I took my step-daughter and our German highschool exchange student and broadened their horizons. My step-daughter and I want to get a table next year. I don't know anything about venues for hosting a zine fair, but I might have liked it even more if all the tables were in one giant room. Like I said, though, I don't really know.
